Outstanding service and ambiance, plus the Rabo (Oxtail) with black beans and rice was delicious! Great authentic Cuban restaurant in LA.

Excellent Cuban/Caribbean food. This place has been a favorite of mine for more than a decade and what they serve, they prepare well. Nothing flashy, just solid food.

All our food was just perfect and authentic. We had the ropa vieja and the sirloin steak. The yuca was delicious. Salad was fresh. Everything absolutely delicious.
This is my favorite place to eat in LA. Their food reminds me of my grandmothers cooking!! It’s so delicious and comforting. The only thing is that I miss the boliche but hopefully it comes back on the menu one day :)
*Important news!!! The boliche is back and more delicious than I remember! This and the pollo al horno (with a side of plantains) holds us as our FAVORITE dinner in LA. Hands down!

Great food but, it’s hit and miss with friendly/professional staff. I’ve been a customer for years and, customer service changed in the last year. Case in point, walked in with 50 minutes before closing (9/1/24) and was met by the waitress/hostess which rudely said they were closed.

3 of us came to eat at Baracoa Cuban Cafe. Bread was freshly made with butter. There was plenty of available parking. All 3 of us ordered different items. The food looked so good, we forgot to take pictures. All 3 of us thought our plates were delicious. We recommend this restaurant. Closed on Tuesdays.
Vegetarian options: The salads are definitely vegetarian. There are rice and beans. There are options.
Kid-friendliness: Accessible to all.

Last night I was there and I bought the best empanadas I tasted in the United States in addition to some potato balls that for God's sake were so delicious! My heart burst with flavors! Thank you for cooking so good, I want to go back and try more things from the menu. I highly recommend this place. I loved that the lady who took care of us was confused when we asked for the flavor of the empanadas and gave them to us as a gift so that we can try another flavor.

I ordered suckling pig with rice and beans and ripe ones, it is delicious but they served me little suckling pig, like a leaf, very little and without leather, which is what I didn't like and for the price they should give a good assortment of suckling pig. That's why they failed.

The owner is an exploiter, he does not pay, he has exploited the cook for years, I was a waitress at this place, I owe a year of my salary and to date he does not pay me. And if you charge him he gets upset and starts screaming

I took my family here after a run to CostCo since it was close by and looked good. It was a small place with maybe 10-15 tables and I must say, it was some of the best Cuban food I have ever had. My son had the Cuban sandwich with fries - he loved it - and my wife had the Arroz Con Pollo (chicken and rice) and she said it was amazing. I was torn between the Cuban and the Pan Con Lechon (Roasted Pork Sandwich) and the hostess/waitress told me to go with the roasted pork and I am SO GLAD SHE DID. It was astoundingly good and like the Cuban came with delicious fries. We also had some sweet plantains which were very good and some empanadas (cheese and beef) which were great and not at all greasy considering they are fired. All in all it was a great meal.
